| 9a6d9a3 | How? By squishing me to death?" I wheezed, and then my eyes widened as Al's mouth covered mine, savage and demanding. The stink of demons assaulted me, hard and fast. A thread of ley line spilled into me from him, diving to my groin and flashing into heat. It could have been ecstasy, but I was too angry. His body was heavy on mine, and his leg forced its way between my knees." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 33346bd | I hadn't wished for Trent in my life, but now that I had him, I was more confused, more heartbroken than I'd ever been. Trent was willing to sacrifice everything for me, but I didn't know if I could let him. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 805aaea | My coffee was steaming, and I hunched over it while I watched the demon. His long fingers were interlaced about the white soup-bowl mug as if relishing its warmth, and though I couldn't tell for sure because of the sunglasses, I think his eyes closed as he took the first sip. A look of bliss so deep it couldn't have been faked slipped over him, easing his features and turning him into a vision of relaxed pleasure. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 542969c | Jenks made a face as he levered himself up on the sill. "Much as I enjoy this horrific outpouring of estrogen, I'm going to go say good-bye to my wife. Let me know when you're ready. I'll be in the garden--probably next to the stink weed." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 543ed21 | All right, all right! Don't lose your panties. No, wait. You don't have any, do you? | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1ed40a2 | I glanced at the pain charms draped around my neck, thinking I looked like a drunken prostitute at Mardi Gras. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9608eee | Tears could not be equal, if I wept diamonds from the skies," Jenks whispered, empty and bereft. "My word silent, though I should howl. Muffled by death, my wings can't lift me high enough to find you. I feel you within. Unaware of my pain. Not knowing why I mourn." He lifted his eyes to mine, a glimmer of tears showing. "And why I breathe alone." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 275b063 | It's said that the reason the elves and demons began their war is because of a broken alliance," he said, the world-weary damage to his face making him look wise. "I've always found it to be true--that the best of friends make the bitterest of enemies. Elves and demons, forever fighting. Who is to say that demons weren't the slaves of elves first?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| ecf252a | Falling in love was the easiest thing in the world to do. Why was it always so hard for me to survive it? | Kim Harrison | ||
| d5b6bb5 | Money drives the world, but when everything falls apart to leave the underpinnings of our life bare to the scrutiny of critics and thieves, the only thing remaining, the only thing that can't be taken away, is the love you hold for the people | Kim Harrison | ||
| ac6ed93 | What in Tink's contractual hell are you doing here? | Kim Harrison | ||
| e8155d8 | We don't forget, Rachel, and it's not as if it was our ancestors who were betrayed. It was us. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 6f84cb4 | Get out," he said flatly. "I just got her normal again. Get out before you turn her into a sniveling, twitterpated...twit!" "Jenks!" I exclaimed, and Pierce put a calming hand on me. "That is my intent, Jenks," he said gallantly, and I wondered if Pierce meant his intent was to leave or to turn me into a twitterpated twit." -- | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3d81d29 | Alarmed, I looked at him, then the road, then at him again. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 0639bc4 | That dung flop?" Nakita said, her dislike almost visibly dripping into nasty puddles at Amy's designer flats. "Yes, I guess. That doesn't mean I have to like him." "I know what you mean." Amy faked a heartfelt sigh. "I have a brother too." The girls behind her giggled when she pushed past me to Barnabas. "I'm Amy," she said, smiling as she extended her hand." "Barnabas," the reaper said as he darted past me to give Nakita a sideways hug to .. | pretense siblings | Kim Harrison | |
| ff71d3f | I expected it would be the same for me, and I wouldn't show up as a wolf in black tights and a lacy pair of underwear --as amusing as that would be. No way was I going to show them I was a nasty pasty color with freckles. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2bccbab | You can't stop me. It's the only option we have to get those Weres off Rachel's tail, so unless you have a suggestion, I suggest you shut up. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c45bddc | Por las bragas de Campanita! | Kim Harrison | ||
| 6fecd96 | Que te pareceria alquilar una lancha? -No esaria mal, pero tenemos el problema del ruido. [...] -Podriamos acercarnos a remo-sugirio, yo le respondi con una mirada. -Hmmm... Jenks, no es un lago, es el puto oceano. ?Has visto el tamano del buque cisterna que pasaba por debajo del puente cuando hemos llegado a la ciudad? Su estela podria volcarnos. No pienso ir al estilo canoa a menos que me digas que te llamas Pocahontas. | jenks rachel-morgan | Kim Harrison | |
| af67322 | Vampires and five-year-olds played by the same rules, and both threw tantrums when they lost. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 990d38d | Give me a minute to catch my breath," I said, sneaking glances at him. "Then we can head to the car. I need a few more things to make the demon spell, but I'm too tired to do it now." It grated on me to admit it, but it was kinda obvious." | Kim Harrison | ||
| ac3bb6d | What is it you want?" My heart pounded at his promise of freedom. I followed his gaze to my hands and the dirt under my nails. "You," I said." | Kim Harrison | ||
| c93ebc6 | I may be a pawn," I said as I locked my shaking knees. "But I've been to the other side and survived the trip back and can move like a queen." Pixy dust sifted over us, and my skin burned. "Don't piss me off." | Kim Harrison | ||
| a6f9c7a | I may be a pawn," I said as I locked my shaking knees. "But I've been to the other side and survived the trip back and can move like a queen." | Kim Harrison | ||
| dae4b00 | My eyes narrowed. He wanted me to lie for him? Minias leaned so close to the barrier of ever-after that it buzzed a harsh warning. "If you don't, I'll give the public what they expect." His eyes went to the people clustered at the window. "Proof that you deal in demons ought to do wonders for your...sterling reputation." Mmmm. There is that. " | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7d009c2 | And what's important to you?" I asked. ... "Success at work. Having fun doing it. Caring for someone and supporting their interests because you like to see them happy. Having them care about and support yours simply becausethey want to see you happy" | Kim Harrison | ||
| c5d5432 | My impulse to pull away vanished. As I stood there, my shoulders became damp. I searched his expression, too jaded to believe in white knights. Happy endings were never handed out. You had to fight for them, earn them with bruised hearts and sacrifices. And I just couldn't do it right now. It hurt too much when it fell apart. "Don't make me promises", I whispered, and the earnest glow in his eyes tarnished." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 59d8b4d | I am not going to live with regret for not having tried. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2af619d | Maybe he'll go away if we don't answer," I said, and Jenks rose - sixty feet in a mere second. In another second, he dropped back down. "He's coming around back," he said, his gold dust looking black through my sunglasses. Damn it back to the Turn. "Pix the sucker," I said, then waved my hand in negation when Jumoke clearly thought I was serious. The small pixy looked about six, and he took everything literally. [...] "Let him come back," I.. | Kim Harrison | ||
| bced170 | Make a necklace out of his teeth and bathtub duckies out of his dried-up balls... | Kim Harrison | ||
| d5ba83a | Bowing my head, I took it - I didn't fight it, I took it - accepting it with a feeling of inevitability. It was as if a part of me had died, accepting that I couldn't be who I wanted, so I had to work at making who I was someone I could live with. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c5b3edd | Okay," Glenn said as he stood. "We need to get this back to the . . . ah, forensics lab. I want to know how long the body was stressed before she died." "An hour. That's all. Perhaps less." We all looked at Nina, and she shrugged, dust and rust marring her makeup like dried blood. "But by all means, do your scientific poking and prodding. She's suffered so much, what's one more indignity?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 97b79be | She was the most private person I knew, not even telling herself what her feelings were until she found a logical reason to justify them. | Kim Harrison | ||
| e3c92a1 | I'm not going to stay sround to send reapers to kill people who are too scared, or frightened, or JUST PLAIN STUPID to find joy in life. | madison reapers | Kim Harrison | |
| cacb347 | Quieres saber lo que significa tener hijos?-le dije mientras se sentaba-. Pues significa que a veces tienes que dejar que tu hija haga cosas que te parecen estupidas, confiando en que, el hecho de que tu no seas capaz de hacerlas no quiere decir que ella tampoco. Que tal vez ella es lo suficientemente sensata como para salir del embrollo en que se ha metido. | Kim Harrison | ||
| b591c2b | Try not to get enthralled, okay? | Kim Harrison | ||
| 61fc3b8 | Learning to understand those you hate and fear is harder. I | Kim Harrison | ||
| da9e15f | If you don't say it's wrong, then you're telling them you agree. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 671a34a | Allan Bloom, in his book The Closing oftheAmerican Mind, chronicled the epidemic rise of moral relativism that reduces ethics to personal preferences rather than to objective norms for what is right and wrong. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 3d4484f | I suggest that we need a generation or two not of theory but of an attempt to discover the real phenomena of eros. | friendship love | Allan Bloom | |
| 4ac47d4 | I have no desire ... to preach a high-minded and merely edifying version of love | Allan Bloom | ||
| 2b5d175 | Shakespeare is to me the purest voice of nature, and he does no meddle with nature. His plays provide us with the greatest variety of erotic expression, and with Shakespeare eros is the proper term to use. | love shakespeare | Allan Bloom | |
| 5a5cea0 | The most striking fact about contemporary university students is that there is no longer any canon of books which forms their taste and imagination...This state of affairs itself reflects the deeper fact of the decay of the common understanding of - and agreement on - first principles that is characteristic of our times. | Allan Bloom | ||
| 433a3a2 | And yet if every desire were satisfied as soon as it arose how would men occupy their lives, how would they pass the time? Imagine this race transported to a Utopia where everything grows of its own accord and turkeys fly around ready-roasted, where lovers find one another without any delay and keep one another without any difficulty: in such a place some men would die of boredom or hang themselves, some would fight and kill one another, an.. | Lou Marinoff |
